Both first-timers in Alicante and those who want to explore in-depth the city can join a Free City Tour in Alicante (also known as Free Historical Center Tour or City Center Tour). This tour organized by a local guide will take you around the city center, where you will enjoy historic monuments, parks shaded with palm trees and vibrant commercial streets. By night, we also recommend booking in advance a Free Myths and Legends Tours in Alicante. This is a fun experience, ideal for families, where you will hear spooky stories about medieval knights, califs, kings and modern urban legends.
Many tourists arrive at Alicante either by plane or train and head straight to the extensive beaches nearby. Unfortunately, those travelers are skipping one or two days of amazing sightseeing in one of the most welcoming and affordable towns in the Mediterranean coast of Spain. All Free Tour in Alicante should start in the Town Hall Square, so you can admire the arcades and fountains, and then take guests along the narrow streets of Santa Cruz Quarter, St. Nicholas Cathedral, Castanos Street, Carbonell House, the Central Market, and many more interesting places. Santa Barbara Castle is maybe the most iconic landmark in Alicante. This wonderful fortress played an important role during medieval times, but it was also in use during the Spanish Civil War. At sunset, we recommend a nice walk around the waterfront promenade and the port. There are many inviting eateries where you can stop for mouth-watering tapas and a drink.

Things to Do in Alicante
Joining an Alicante Free Walking Tour should be at the top of your list when thinking about what to do in this lovely sunny city. After spending a couple of hours visiting the highest-rated monuments in the historical center, there are lots of fun activities to do. Head to the port and take a ride to Tabarca Island: it’s a picturesque place with nice beaches, photogenic churches, and amazing fish restaurants. Of course, there are many other beaches near the city center that you can visit in the area. Our favorites are San Juan Beach, Albufereta Beach, and Postiguet Beach. However, if you have a car, you can drive farther away to untouched Cala Ambolo. Finally, Alicante is also a wonderful place to taste the many delicacies of Valencian food, such as paella, seafood, special breads, ‘fartons’, and the amazing horchata. The Central Market is the ideal spot to start your exploration of local gastronomy.
